Makes you wonder why shops in the Toronto Airport are open while the rest of Ontario is locked down. Tee-shirt, soaps, electonics.

DONcast-corn is being developed and validated, maybe for 2021. Current humid/wet/30C in the green silking phase is very similar to 2018. Perhaps consider a fungicide to reduce DON by 50% max on susceptible hybrids? BTW, some fungicides have zero effect on DON.

[Shawn Winter @SWinter_Maiz]

With the recent rain events, fog, morning dews and corn flowering - a fungicide application to manage DON in corn may be prudent. Refer to the Maizex Seed Guide for response to fungicide if choosing hybrids. #maizex

Watch out for wild parsnip when out enjoying more nature this summer.

Bees were busy today. This was a split made 2 weeks ago. It is buzzing. Glad it worked. Honey...here we come.
